Celebrate the 130th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Stalin!

This month, on December 21st, 2009, revolutionaries around the world will mark the 130th anniversary of the birth of Comrade J. V. Stalin, who along with Lenin, led the Great October Socialist Revolution to victory. After Lenin’s death, Stalin consolidated the victory of the USSR and strengthened the Soviet Party, beat back the counter-revolutionary Trotskyites and Bukharinites, paved the way for socialist construction and agricultural collectivization, and led the heroic Red Army in defeating fascism in World War II.

As Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese revolution said,

“We can be sure that his birthday will evoke warm and affectionate congratulations from the hearts of all revolutionary people throughout the world who know of the occasion. Congratulating Stalin is not a formality. Congratulating Stalin means supporting him and his cause, supporting the victory of socialism, and the way forward for mankind which he points out, it means supporting a dear friend. For the great majority of mankind today are suffering, and mankind can free itself from suffering only by the road pointed out by Stalin and with his help.” (Stalin, Friend of the Chinese People)

Here are some articles by various revolutionaries from around the world highlighting Cde. Stalin’s contributions:

You are right, revolutionaries around the world will mark Stalin’s birthday. Among a large section of the leftists in the former USSR and Eastern Europe there is a common understanding that Stalin was a leader who contributed allot.

I recall traveling in China during the mid 70’s, and Stalin was everywhere. His books were sitting on tables in the Shanghai airport, and his picture (along with Marx, Engels, Lenin and Mao) was on the wall in every school. A portrait of Stalin – 2 stories high – was in Tienanmen Square.

The point of this is that the Chinese communists understand the real contributions made by Stalin.

Make no mistake – we’ll be celebrating Stalin’s birthday in Birmingham, the centre of England! Our comrades are from England, India, Ireland and Turkey – we all share our belief in Marxism Leninism, our faith in the CPGB-ML and our love of Josef Stalin! Happy Birthday to the leader of the poor and oppressed peoples!
